weeknotes, 5/25

chinese new year! i always feel excited for CNY — it feels like we’re being given a second chance to start the year again, after the dreadfulness of january. and this year we even did a special lunar new year theme for postcrossing, illustrated by our friend shao-hua! :) at home, we had 2 chinese dinners with some of our favourite staples.

after some frustration with my old treadmill, i upgraded it to a more expensive lifespan model. it comes with a fan to cool down the motor, and it’s built to walk for several hours in a row. the walking goes smoothly and the treadmill has a couple of nice features, like stopping automatically when you step off it, and resuming the last speed you were on. i’m pretty happy with the upgrade!

the week was rather fragmented otherwise. i took off the stitches from the surgery‘s suture (which looks fine) and got some new drops for my right eye, which is still giving me a bit of trouble. there’s a new art hub in town, and i signed up for their art classes once a week. and we tried out an advance review copy of the postcards board game with friends, which was pretty cool!

the game is beautiful, with many small pieces (which i like). it’s not that straightforward to figure out the best strategy to win, which makes it more interesting. and it has postcards, stamps, bicycles and trinket souvenirs! i think this is going to become a favorite in our future game nights. :)

weeknotes 35/21

– the parents are here for a few days, spoiling us with their fresh produce and cooking skills! :D

– been listening to SW945 as background noise when i’m working. the sounds of craig‘s walks in japan are a soothing company — my favourites 15mins are the roadside dinner (the background music is permanently stuck in my head) and the rain on his tent.

– clouds that looks like feathers!

– got myself a cheap treadmill to put under my desk and walk while i work, which is something i’ve been wanting to do for a while now. i’m still getting used to the slow walking pace, but so far so good. it’s funny how the hands type and the mind thinks, all the while the legs just do their own thing. i’ll report back on it in some time.

– i’ve finished watching falling into your smile, another e-sports-themed c-drama. i don’t know why i like e-sports dramas so much, but by now i could probably play league of legends, from having watched so many people play it in tv shows. 😅
